Listen Bud, I'm a life long fan of this team so please don't question my allegiance to the team I love, unless you want to start some BS

For the millionth time, you can't assume that if they draft another 1st round OL, that BB won't get hurt. Let's not forget that the past 2 TWO years that BB got hurt, it was all on him. Had every opportunity to get rid of the ball but instead tried to make a play and got hurt. Injuries happen.

Go back and look at the video of the KC game where got hurt.. It was 3rd down and 4. He had Miller on 1 on 1 coverage and could've made a 1st down if he threw to him, but never looked his way, and then down he went...All on him.

A stud OL may not prevent Ben from getting hurt, but it can aid in giving us a dominant running game, which will aid the team when Ben does get hurt and misses time. Gotta think ahead and not be so reactionary (not you, the Steelers)....I would be willing to bet 25 bucks that one of our starting 5 OL goes down with a multi-game injury within the first 4 to 6 weeks of the season. Gameplan ahead and have a stud waiting rather then have the injury occur and have to plug scrubs in to a makeshift line.

8-8 seasons will only be common if Ben continues to miss 3 games and play hurt the rest of the season....

You should have just stopped right there.

The Steelers as a team gave up 37 sacks all year. That ranked 18th best in the league which really isnt that bad considering they were 12th in the league in passing attempts and 19% of those sacks were to Charlie Batch and Byron Leftwich.

Ben did not get hurt because of his O-line. Ben got hurt because Ben held on to the ball too long and tried to make something happen that wasn't there.
